We are Accenture — a global professional services organization, which includes being a vital services partner to the world’s major cloud providers — ServiceNow, AWS, Azure, Google, and others. Demand for their offerings — and for ours — skyrocketed last year as the Covid-19 pandemic rolled on.
Organizations had to grapple with the sudden dispersal of their workforces and supply chains.
To meet that surging demand we consolidated our cloud-related skill sets into one highly focused services group, named Accenture Cloud First.
It started out last September with 70,000 cloud professionals, a number that’s growing rapidly.
(Accenture’s total employee population exceeds 500,000.) Accenture Cloud First is on a mission that has a $3 billion/three-year investment behind it.
Accenture’s ServiceNow practice can help any organization determine how to best respond to changing business needs and coordinate services across the enterprise for greater speed, agility and efficiency, all delivered at scale.
